Highway traffic changes are coming to the area of two bridge projects in the area, according to the Rhode Island Department of Transportation.
Beginning Sunday night, July 19, at 9 p.m., through the fall, traffic will shift to the left, with three lanes going down to two, on I-295 North and South at the Diamond Hill Road Bridge under Diamond Hill Road (Route 114) in Cumberland.
Effective Tuesday night, July 21, at 9 p.m., lanes will be narrowed through mid-fall at the Route 7 (Douglas Pike) Bridge carrying Route 7 (Douglas Pike) North and South over I-295 in Smithfield.
The changes will allow RIDOT to do demolition and reconstruction at the Diamond Hill Road Bridge, and complete concrete median work at the Douglas Pike Bridge. For the remainder of this week, motorists should expect nightly lane closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for associated construction activities.
